can we leave now? its a 10 to 11 hour trip. i want to watch some plastic fly.

Get'em North Cack!

I'm ready to go!

Can we push this event back a week? My game isn't quite there yet.

wonder what the winning score for hobson 1st round dubs was..

i'm guessin 45



The winning score was a 43 with a 3 way tie for second at 46. Really light turnout only 6-8 teams, but it was fun though.

Sorry that was the second round.

I will dominate you all. The only question is ... who will come in second?

That'll be you after my partner and I tear it up tomorrow at Kereiakes! :D

The Mace Man just left Flotown (Florence, AL) after a Mace Man Doubles Tour this evening. I say evening because we finished in the dark! He left for BG about 8:45 p.m. and it should take him about 3.5 hours to arrive. Your's truly and his partner Steve-O shot -11, only to lose to a -12! We had 11 teams and it was fun. A good warm up since I intend to practice tomorrow! ;) Thanks Mace for bringing the tour to Florence! :D Hope everyone has a safe trip.

BTW, I'm still looking for a ride in the H (Adv. Master) Pool Saturday after the meeting! :p rWc3523 :cool:

Only a few more hours til we depart, Hope i can sleep :D

It's only Thursday night and I'm so hyped up sleep just inst possible.

We may not GET there now! :mad::mad:

Anyone who responded to my trade requests, please give me a call on the cell number or send me another PM. Hoping to arrive in BG about 3.5 hours. Just the same, if anyone sees a silver/gray Chevy Astro van broken down on I-65 south of BG, please stop and pic ME up! :D;)

I'll second that.

Anybody else awake? I couldn't sleep. Up at 4:15 a.m. Guess we'll go to the Waffle House and get to the KofC early and putt some. Anybody want to get rid of the Ontario Rocs, I have a few Innova Star discs to trade. GO back a few days and it's posted. Also on the traders row thread! Everyone play well today! rWc3523 :cool:

Lets hear some stories of the first day. The throw that got away? How was the wind? :)

I started off on the back nine on Ephram White, and after those holes I was at a very pleasant +1 after 3 birdies. Then the wind just came out of nowhere, and it screwed everybody up. I mean everybody, and it kept getting worse. Only one person shot par which was amazing! Hobson was alot better. My drives were really good, but the wind wouldnt allow me to go for the birdies so I had to lay up and settle for alot of pars. Not that I'm complaining, but alot of birdie holes just werent able to be reached.

It would be great to take a digital photo of the lead scoreport and put in on this thread. I know 700 gillion players makes if very difficult. More stories. Tough conditions.

I didn't throw too good but am hapy because I threw a buzzz 495 earlier(Franklin #3) and am still in the A pool

When will pools for Sunday be posted? Thanks.

Due to overwhelming numbers and trying to get pools out to the guys so they would know where they play tomorrow the scoes won't be posted till after the event. Sorry but just too many to get them all.

Have some pool confusion.... Anyone who played C pool today that shot around a +9 for the day know what pool that got shuffled to? or even better, anyone know the cutoff for C-D pool?

Just posted this at dgwn.com and thought I would share some results. I'll post again when the B pool cards get in.

In the Adv. Men div. an unknown player from the B pool has apparently shot a 210 to have the lead by 2 strokes over Ronnie Huffman and Dan Defries, who are tied at the top of the A Pool.

Pool A top seven final:

* Ronnie Huffman 212
* Dan Defries 212
* Jordan Rauch 213
* David Rosenbalm 213
* Gaige McNutt 214
* Dana Vicich 215
* Brendan Hickman 215

bring it home to NC Ronnie!!

How bout some ladies scores??

C'monnnn Ohioo! :D

They have the women's cards at another course, so no clue. Sorry.

This appears to be the final after 4 rounds, the final 9 is getting ready to start.

Top Eight after 72 holes:

Stephen Whitson 210
Ronnie Huffman 212
Dan Devries 212
Jordan Rauch 213
David Rosenbalm 213
Gaige McNutt 214
Dana Vicich 215
Brendan Hickman 215

I am posting the final 9 hole scores as I get them at dgwn.com if you want to follow. Can't post in both places at the moment.

I have no idea how these guys do all of the work that goes into running this tournament. From course improvements, sponsorships, players packs, and responding to the tons of players which everyone said was amazing how quickly they were answered. I have to admit that I am biased, but after playing it, I definitely understand why this tourney is so huge. 363 days until next years :D.

Yeah...my boy Steve is representing...

Stephen Whitson Is the winner!

Final 9 held at White Park and starting on hole #4.

Final 9 hole scores.

* Stephen Whitson - 3 / 4 / 3 / 3 / 3 / 3 / 3 / 4 / 3

Did ya do any good :) Where are the scores ;)

Just had a chance to look and nothing :D

Nice shooting Jordan and Gaige...way to represent Columbus guys!

Scores please!

here is a story for ya......lots of wind,fell on my butt,hurt my elbow .....and shot +11.... not bad for a master

but lots of great people

Great tournament I don't know how yall do it. Sucks I came out here and blew up on the 2 widest open courses. After I hit hole 1 at Franklin (right before that calling it) and rolling 70ft ob I never could get over it.


From rumors I heard +9 was around 70th but I'm not to sure. Larry did tell me the scores would be up tonight though.


Larry once again I don't know how you do it this was a great weekend and crazy with the amount of people. Whats the record going to be next year 800-900?

Scores please!



I can't even imagine how difficult it would be to get that many scores checked, organized, recorded, and posted.

I heard there were some big shots thrown with some light weight Raging Inferno DT's.

Has anyone had a chance to throw the Diablo-DT, we would love to have some feedback on it, once you all ( yawl) get home and give em a test fly!

During the final 9 there was a bunch of people throwing the ultra light Raging Inferno Dt's. They were getting crushed too. Amazing how they fly so straight and overstable for being 136 grams.

There was about 10 people test flying the Diablo Dt behind the host hotel on Friday. It had a lot of glide and good control another long disc too.


All and all good weekend Thanks again Larry I'll be back next year.

Somebody I know that normaly throws in the 300' range said he got one of the ultralights about 400' with a tailwind, he also offered to buy my Diablo afther throwing his so I guess he liked that one too. I will be trying mine after a couple of days to give my arm a rest.

Just updated scores. I will do a good double check tomorrow, had to get some food and now I need some rest. Will comment more tomorrow. Thanks all !!!!!!!!!

Did anyone happen to find a chair at hole 1 Franklin? I left it out there Saturday after my blow up. It has my name and number in 2-3 places on it.

Lost my Ice bowl rock (mammoth stamp) on #9 at Preston Miller. I am willing to pay postage if anyone found it.

In the Adv. Men div. an unknown player from the B pool has apparently shot a 210



Not so unknown. Look on the previous page to your post, it was predicted more than once that he would win .

One day you guys'll realize IA is where it's at. :D

4 IL Boyz in the top 11. Strong showing fellas!

Two Columbus boys under 20 years old who road down together placing in the top 5!! Columbus is where it is at.

that has already been accomplished in the past.....
98, myself and a friend took 2nd and 3rd. We were 16 and 15 and drove together from WI.
Nice play this weekend!

are these the official ratings? they seem to be low to me? anyone else feel the same way?

There will be no "good" ratings until they are official in the June update. It's not worth the effort to do all of the pool stuff necessary for events like this to produce unofficial ratings. So it's just done for the official ones just like last year.

Although, it probably feels pretty good to look at your ratings right now if you played INT :D

Are you talking about the 1998 bowling green event? Wasn't the field only 100 to 150 total players? Totally different from the 700+ now at this event.

I remember Moose mentioning to me back in 1998 the event was extremely small compared to todays field.

Well despite the last round Ryan what a GREAT FINISH!!

it was just a comment, thats all. Its not very often you have 2 younger guys who travel together play that well for 4 rounds. So my comment was saying, good shooting!
FYI, The adv field was around 150 that year.

Oh I'm just going on what Moose told me a few days ago.

In any event that is a great showing.

First off thanks to all the course officials and helpers I had and especially Terry Miller who helped by filling in for a sick official on Sunday. Next thanks to all the sponsors who help make this event great. Thanks to all the course sponsors that were out there running doubles and selling merchandise. Thanks to are parks departments which help get the courses looking great. Last but not least thanks to all the players that came and your patients with us for this extreamly huge event.

On that last note I will appoligize for the problems we had at a couple of courses getting the parks open, and that caused some of the long delays in getting all the scores sorted. Sorry to the award winners as we really didn't get to have a awards ceremony with everyone wanting to get headed home.

Congrats to all the winners and we hope to see you all next year. As always any questions comments, complaints can be sent to me as I listen to all and somtimes even make changes based on them. Once again thanks for coming. [email protected] if you want to send me any comments at all.

For an event of this scale involving so many players and courses, I think that it was VERY well ran. All the players from my club that attended thought the same as well. It was a great time and a wonderful tournament. :)

In addition the people of Bowling Green were also very friendly. It was nice to see that the tournament was the lead story on the front page of the Sports section of the paper. Our group bought 5-6 copies I think!

Thanks to everyone who helped run BG this year, another great event!

The only complaint I had during my rounds was that the OB at Franklin didnt have a painted line. It was confusing in some areas.

not being able to get your disc from over the cliff at Edmonson sucked too.

Newspaper Article (http://bgdailynews.com/articles/2007/04/02/sports/sports1.txt)

You could get it AFTER the round. People in my pool did that and actually brought everyone's disc back...

Yeah, I did the same thing after the first round on Saturday. I had my putter down there, man I could have used it for the other 15 holes that round.

I carry two with me for such emergencies... ;)

Does anyone know how to get an appointment with that discgolfsportspsychologist? my entire stinkin life came unraveled on that bluff at Edmondson - well heck at least I did carry an extra putter -

But seriously, thanks to Larry, HB and everyone at Bowling Green '07 - Congrats to Dana and Steve P - thanks to all the Masters for welcoming a new guy -

No thank you Larry for running such a quality tournament i am sure this will be my last BG AM but it was the best tourny i ever played even though i missed that gimmie putt but i played with classy people every round and the tournament staff was very good with helping people with everything they need so with that said we all appericaite the efforts you guys put into the event thanks alot Larry and thank you to all the people that congradulated me after the tournament it was one i will never forget. :)

I had an extra putter but I had to put with a roc on the next hole that had the cliff. I need to break my extra putter in more.

will the score from the tourney be included in the next rating update? I hope the adv ratings go up, i dont think the winner of the tourney played middle 960's golf to win it all.
It was a great tourney and a lot of good people. My 63 on White took me right out of the finals. 48 at Hobson though HOT!

Larry you did a great job.

Glad to be back home where there isn't a constant 25mph wind+ constantly changing directions.
thanks for everyone involved with putting this tournament on, all the staff looked so calm, and you could ask them anything and get an answer very quick.

wtg winners.

Just wanted to say thanks to the folks at BG for making my first tourney experience a blast.

The funny thing is the wind was not blowing the week before and it hasn't been much wind today either. It had to come in just for the tourney so people would understand the tourney disc.

I am pretty sure Steve Whitson will be winning this year... "Iowa's Best Am"



Steve, you the man!! Did I call this or what?

Had an awsome time!
I'm sure it was posted a while back but how many people were in each division actually?

I was just wonder when I will be getting the ace money in the mail? Also If anyone got pictures of me in the final 9. Please pm me. I def need picks of them.

Thanks larry for a great time. I was just happy to be in the final 9. If it wasnt for the ace on hole 15 at white with 4 holes to go I wouldnt of been in it. Good times. Everyone I played with I hope nothing but the best for you in the future and I will see you at the next tourny one.
Oh yeah that 50 footer should've stuck. :confused: :DOne of the best putts I missed all weekend and If you were in my group any of the last 3 rounds you'd know I made a few big ones with none of the spitouts.

How many aces were there total?

I had a great time at my first Bowling Green Am tourney, I can hardly wait for next year!

After almost falling in the river on #4 at Franklin, an accidental throw-in up shot on 11 for birdie, and finding a four-leaf clover and parking my final shot of the day on #15, I was glad to be finished for the weekend.

Here are the pics I took over the course of the weekend, http://picasaweb.google.com/bwknight/BowlingGreenAm2007

Anyone else have pictures??

I wanted to thanks Larry, BG disc club and the city of bowling green for a great time. Everything went smooth up until i threw my purple magnet(which i have been using for 9 years) into the river at Franklin, I never thought i would lose my putter :eek:
If any local player happens to find it i would love it back and will compensate well. It is a 96 worlds magnet with the wizard on it. Send an me an email or PM.
Thanks again for the great event.

Anyone else have pictures??



http://s29.photobucket.com/albums/c275/markthehammer/Bowling%20Green/

How many aces were there total?


I think 8.

I have found 5 so far but don't have all the scorecards yet for the officials. Here are what I have if you got one and aren't on the list email me.
David Rosenbalm - Wh - #15
Jeremy Ballard - Frankl - #8
Dave Thorwaldson - Edm - #2
Pat Burke - Ker - #4
Matt Dehaan - Wh - #12

I know Rick Stepp had one at Preston Miller on Saturday, hole 8 I believe

an adv master got one on saturday at lovers.... not sure who it was

I think Lewis Rolin got an ace or won the ace pot at Lovers, one or the others. I want to say Bret Neal got an ace, but too much time has already passed! rWc3523 :cool:

Ben Boylan Jr aced hole 16 at Hobson on Sat morning.

There must be something in the soil in BG cause in the first and last rounds someone on my card found a 4 leaf clover! Hows that for odds.

My friend found one while we were watching the Final 9...

A fellow caddy of mine found 15 at White. THen she got a $2 scratch off and won $40 later in the day.

I lost a yellow JLS on Basil Griffith #5? I would really like to get it back, it has my name on it (William Gilbert) and my PDGA# (27948)

I will gladly pay postage rounded up to get it returned.
Thanks
PM me if you like.

Thanks for the pix. That "chickenwing" looks a lot like the overhand wrist flip. Chickenwing is the nickname for the Underarm throw. They get mixed up over the years.

I have a quesstions about the ratings. In 2004 i shot a 60 at White for a round rating of 912. this year is shot a 61 for a 878 rating my buddy shot a 60 for a 889. Why is there a disparity in the ratings or are these not official yet and may change?????????

you are probably refering to the picture of me posted by brian knight. it is the overhand wrist flip, in these parts that has been called a chickenwing for as long as i can remember.

These ratings are very unofficial and have nothing to do with what a 60 was rated in 2004 or what a 60 was rated Sunday morning.

Yeah, right now the unofficial ratings have everyone is one pool playing the same 4 courses at the same time. If you look at it closely, a 54 is rated the same for an Advanced player, an Advanced Grandmaster, an Intermediate player, or a Junior. Basically, it's a lot of work to try and do all the pool splits just for the unoffical ratings.

I think it takes Chuck and Gentry a solid week just to figure out pools and do ratings for the real update. Not only are there different pools on different courses, but you also have to worry about people who switched pools Saturday night, etc. It's a real hassle.

Does anyone have any pictures of the 2nd ADV final 9 group?

And thank you to Larry and ALL of the volunteers. Very smoothly ran for a 700+ person event...

Congrats on the strong weekend Dana. You going to be back in IL anytime soon for some tourneys?

Just wondering if anyone else noticed the Adv. winner littering his cigarette butts on the course? I saw it twice but was to far away to call a violation.

hmm yikes.
I played doubles in his group at Franklin and did not notice it. I also caddied in his group at Keriakes and did not notice it.
Usually I notice that and confront the player, or at least pick up his butt myself. I could have missed it tho. That would have been weak of him if he did litter on those beautiful BG courses.

Kierakes was the course i saw it at. I would think someone at his level of play would know better but I guess not. I also saw it at White but it was the last hole of play so i did not step up and say something, which i should have, shame on me :o

Oh man that sucks that I missed that. Yes, you definately should have made a call, but it's tough to confront someone in a tourney like that. Too bad.

LoL! I was standing in the doorway when that pic was taken D! Too funny! Er, speaking of your avatar!

I have played with Steve many times, and never seen him litter his cig butts. When I was caddying for him during the final 9, I had a cig and asked him where I should put it, and he had a spot in his bag with a bunch of cig butts in it. I'm sure if he did litter a butt or two it was not on purpose, sometimes people just forget, or they set it down meaning to pick it back up and finish it, but can't find it or forget it. I know it's happened to me plenty of times.

LoL! I was standing in the doorway when that pic was taken D! Too funny! Er, speaking of your avatar!



Nice, I woke and was confused because I was sleeping on a tangerine and 2 sugar packets. I understood later.


Dustin- I didn't see him litter throughout 2 rounds, but was not watching him closely. Judging just by playing with him those 2 rounds, I would say he is not the type that would make littering a habit. That is all I can say and I am going to stay out of this one now.

I would hope that it was not done on purpose but i saw what i saw and that was cigarette dropped to the ground stepped on and then player walking away. To me that looks like littering but maybe others would look at that differently. ON another note, he played well and deserved the win, Congrats Steve.
If i do notice this again in a tournament i will step up and make the call. Like i have seen posted on this board before rules do not call themselves.

Larry,
I was wondering why there was not a Final 9 for the ADV Women even though it was said in the program and at the player's meeting that they would.

I hear ya man, I don't like to see littering of cig butts or anything else for that matter, and people should be reminded to pick up their trash if you see them dumping anything, whether it's a tournament or not. It's not about calling someone, it's about keeping courses and parks clean.

I figured I would send you this personnaly, Shawn your course official informed me that you guys were going to be getting back late and didn't think we would have time for a final 9. Since I wasn't there to be able to determine and was going on his opinion I told him that if that is what he was figuring that to make sure and inform you guys before the last round that you wouldn't have a final 9. He never told me of any complaints but said everyone seem to understand. I am sorry if you were looking forward to one or if I got the wrong information. My plan was to have a final 9 and am sorry that didn't happen. I will try and plan to make sure we can next year.

While the top card may have been told, the undercards were not. My wife was told by a girl on the top card that Julianna had told her and her husbad at the players party Saturday night that there would not be a final 9 for the women.

saying something now about someone dropping a butt on the ground is not going to change a thing...you had your chance to say something then.......so drop it!!!!!!!

nice play on words kidmills.... ;) maybe in tennessee cig butts and other trash are welcomed on the course but not where i play. dthrow has every right to call that out.

Thanks for a great weekend Larry and all those who helped make it possible. It was my first BGAC, and I'll be back for sure!

A funny story from the weekend:

A couple of us were in the I-65 Liquor store near the host hotel buying beer. We put several assorted six-packs of Bell's and Sam Smith on the counter and the guy behind it just kind of looks at us for a second. He then says (in the appropriate Kentucky twang, )

Him: "Y'all 're disc golfers, ain't ye?"

Us: "Um...yeah. How'd you know?"

Him: "Aw heck, it's easy. I can tell from the beer. Y'all drink the good stuff...I ain't sold a case of Bud Light or PBR all week!"

:D

THAT IS HILARIOUS AND TRUE :D

Hey who's the guy in the white t-shirt?

He was practicing before the final 9 at white. We were playing #5, he was playing #6. He threw an upshot from the left side of the fairway, then went over to his other drive on the right side of the fairway. He deuced from that shot with a 250 footer or so. It was funny, because both him and his caddy looked dissapointed. I told him he should've saved it. He agreed.

Got a question about Flymart.
Is it a trademarked name? Or is it just the generic name you give for all the vendors attending the tournament.
Also do the vendors pay you a fee to set up shop and if so whats the percentage of sales/fee that they pay the Club/TD?

Thanks for any info

Hey who's the guy in the white t-shirt?

He was practicing before the final 9 at white. We were playing #5, he was playing #6. He threw an upshot from the left side of the fairway, then went over to his other drive on the right side of the fairway. He deuced from that shot with a 250 footer or so. It was funny, because both him and his caddy looked dissapointed. I told him he should've saved it. He agreed.


That was Ronnie Huffman from NC

man that shot was huuuuuge

Are all the courses COMPLETELY wide open like that?

Hey Kidmills, your right saying something now about the cigs will not change the past but it may change the future.

Are all the courses COMPLETELY wide open like that?



No, not at all...

Actually White is the only one that is completely open. With a couple of courses being very wooded, and some being a mix of open and wooded.

Are all the courses COMPLETELY wide open like that?


No, that course is the most wide open of the 4, but it is long and windy. I think even was the best score, so that will give you an idea of the toughness factor.

Yeah, right now the unofficial ratings have everyone is one pool playing the same 4 courses at the same time. If you look at it closely, a 54 is rated the same for an Advanced player, an Advanced Grandmaster, an Intermediate player, or a Junior. Basically, it's a lot of work to try and do all the pool splits just for the unoffical ratings.

I think it takes Chuck and Gentry a solid week just to figure out pools and do ratings for the real update. Not only are there different pools on different courses, but you also have to worry about people who switched pools Saturday night, etc. It's a real hassle.



Not true. All the tournament director had to do was upload the pool information into the PDGA Online Tournament Scoring System. You just upload pool as another column, just like PDGA#. You can then assign which pools played which courses during which round, and the unofficial ratings calculator will calculate ratings accordingly. The tournament director or whoever uploaded the results either didn't know how to do this or chose not to.

And please don't use ALL CAPTIAL LETTERS next time! :D

That was me in the blue shirt, the caddie. I told him to put the second upshot out wider. You should have heard what I told him in the finals!!

nope, white is wide open, hobson (very pretty) has some tight holes, keriakes (great course) is hilly and covered with cedars (think seneca but shorter and with airshots), haven't played the others.

anyone who was on the top two cards of the ADV division during the final round at White...who was the older man asking questions with the notepad? who was he affiliated with? I was to busy concentrating on blowing the tourney to ask. :o

I believe it was Rick Rothstein with Disc Golf World.

Put it in?

Yes, that is who it was. :)

Okay, so it's not as hard as I thought. I was thinking with the shuffle that went on Friday night, it would be a little more difficult to do (for example, guy plays the first day in B pool, but the second day in A pool.) I've done the online scoring plenty of times, but not with different pools.

This is what we deal with when we do Pro Worlds. The software will keep track of the pools before and after the shuffle.

Not trying to take anything away from overworked & underpaid volunteers who do an amazing job at running a weekend event with 743 competitors, but the unofficial ratings with pools and a shuffle can be done properly if desired.

And I wish it were, too. I played some decent golf and I'm not a big fan of seeing a couple sub-900 rounds up there, whether I know it's wrong or not.

not saying something then(cig butt) still left the cig butt on the groung......now if he would have said something about the cig butt THEN are there it would have gotten picked up THEN!!and no i don't like people trashing up the courses.i put my cig butts in my bag and empty them out later

"Butts this and butts that!"
Who freakin cares!
Find a room or pm each other, stop crapping up the boards with petty arguments.

there I said it

man that shot was huuuuuge


Good one Tiny E

Distance comp

man it was just a big shot that is all i am saying.

Distance comp

I did. 505 was the measured D when it hit the tree, and we had about a 7-10 mph headwind. The mark isn't that big for me, but considering the field we were throwing in, it was plenty enough to win. It was more like an golf-distance contest because of the trees and OB. No real chance to throw up a big bomb....

Oh well. I still took home a basket. Thanks to poorboydiscs.com from Dayton OH for sponsoring the D contest and hooking everyone up with some sweet giveaways (and my basket). And a HUUUUGGGEE thanks to Fred Salaz and The Equalizer - http://www.discntucky.com/index.html - for my new sponsorship and helping me win the D contest. The Equalizer really works - I picked up a frisbee for the first time in summer of 2005, and now I have legit 550+ distance.

Now, if I can learn how to putt!

What disc did you throw?

Pro Wraith, 174

If I only had a chance to throw in that wind I might have thrown closer to 500. When I was throwing it was a good 20+mph headwind. The poorboys guys said the wind calmed down a bunch later on.

Well then, you should have waited.

Congratulations Keith. 505' is big. WHat kind of basket?

The decision to drop the final nine for the women was not made until Sunday Morning. The cards for the D - pool never came in quicker than 4 hours. With that in mind there was no way the women could have got from Franklin to White before 5:30.

Juliana and I decided to call the final 9 off. I personally told the top two cards of the Adv women and told every other woman I saw Sunday morning at Kereiakes. I apologize if anyone was not informed of this. As Larry said he is going to do what is necessary to make sure the women get to play the final 9 next year.

As it turned out Juliana and did not get back to White park until after the Mens final was over. So there would not have been time for a womens final.

Here's an idea.....to get the women to White park to participate in a final 9 a bit quicker......don't make them play the one course that is the furthest from White Park for their fourth round.
Just a crazy idea I had while driving from Franklin to White Sunday afternoon. :)

Thanks for the pictures Boomgolf.

Quit complaining
there was over 700 players there things will happen. When problems occur they are usually fixed the next year. I would like to say thanx to Larry and all of his staff for a great tournament.

Here are a few more photos

Did anybody get any pics of Rick Rothstein jammin on the harmonica? Dude, that editor can really play! Somehow with everything going on, I missed pics of Rick and Juliana, bummer.

Here's some photos from BG and some cool courses in Elizabethtown, KY, Triple Creek in Gattlin, TN, and Seven Oaks (highly recommended) in Nashville.

Complain - to express dissatisfaction, pain, uneasiness, censure, resentment, or grief; find fault

Suggestion - something suggested, as a piece of advice

Just cause you can't seem to tell the difference. :)

And just for the record, I had an amazing time and told everyone I could find of that fact and am already planning my return trip for next year.

I'll get some more photos up later tonight after work!

anyone have a guess when the online results will be official and the points updated?

Early May, with Official Ratings in late June.

thank you

So when we get our ratings on Tuesday this tourney wont be included?

What about the posts I've made is unclear?

wow.

For those who haven't played BG before, the delay for points and ratings has not been the PDGA, but getting the report from BG. Last year it took until June before the PDGA received the TD report and we're able to determine what pools played what layouts.

What about the posts I've made is unclear?



I wasnt sure what you meant by your earlier posts. You have no right to be a jerk. I believe you owe me an apology for your rude remark.

Lighten up, Francis.

Is your skin really this thin, or are you just having an abnormally sensitive day?

Dont worry. Chuck sent me a PM explaining, and its cool now. But yes, this has been a terrible day for me due to personal reasons.

No reason to attack someone, Mr. President.

I took a bunch of pics, with h is camera. Whether we can get him to share them or not, I don't know. I was surprised at his talent, too, not to mention that Ernie's band is just great.

Yeah, they rocked! No question the band really made the fly-mart awesome! Well Done!

Does anyone else think the round ratings are still all jacked up?
55 @ whites is a 926?

you gotta wait til the next rating bump - June.

before the ratings will make sense.

That is strange :confused:

I'm quoting myself from upthread on 4/4:


Yeah, right now the unofficial ratings have everyone is one pool playing the same 4 courses at the same time. If you look at it closely, a 54 is rated the same for an Advanced player, an Advanced Grandmaster, an Intermediate player, or a Junior.



So they won't be right because they weren't done by pools.

On another note did anyone get a Diablo DT that they would not be throwing and willing to trade etc..???

Thanks

What you got? I'll trade ya!

It's May and the round ratings still aren't fixed?!? Its saying that my +1 at whites is a 926 and my Even at Hobson is a 960. WTF? :confused: :confused: :confused:

what about not till next ratings update dont you understand?

: ) :

Once Gentry gets and processes the TD report, at least the unofficial ratings will go away until the official ratings are processed. Don't know if Dave even has the report yet.

points are updated!
